Prepare supporting information

Please make sure you have the following information available before you submit your manuscript:

Author information

Full names and email addresses of all co-authors on your manuscript.

Cover letter

A cover letter that includes the following information, as well as any additional information requested in the instructions for your specific article type (see main manuscript section above):

An explanation of why your manuscript should be published in Molecular Medicine

An explanation of any issues relating to journal policies

A declaration of any potential competing interests

Confirmation that all authors have approved the manuscript for submission

Confirmation that the content of the manuscript has not been published, or submitted for publication elsewhere (see our Duplicate publication policy)

If you are submitting a manuscript to a particular special issue, please refer to its specific name in your covering letter

Peer reviewers

You may suggest up to three potential peer reviewers for your manuscript. If you wish to do so, please provide institutional email addresses where possible, or information which will help the Editor to verify the identity of the reviewer (for example an ORCID or Scopus ID). Intentionally falsifying information, for example, suggesting reviewers with a false name or email address, will result in rejection of your manuscript and may lead to further investigation in line with our misconduct policy. Authors should not suggest recent collaborators (individuals they wrote with, within the last three years) or colleagues who work in the same institution as themselves (and they will not find out which reviewers were invited).

Excluding peer reviewers

During submission you may enter details of anyone who you would prefer not to review your manuscript.
